I was also thinking of those smashup derby cars, what a funny thing to attract kids too (maybe better than candy cigaretts tho) In this same era there were also Johnny Lightings cars, and some wierd track for hotwheels where they went thru an gas station, and were thrust out by what amounts to a tiny pitching machine. Later there was another system called "Sizzlers" that were like battery powered and rechargable hotwheels. They were actually pretty cool, and stayed on the track well, but the re-chargability would diminish with age.
